Normally, I wouldn't make a sandwich, especially a magick one, with Spam. It's a scourge for blogs, necessitating moderation of every last comment. I used to be so happy that a reader, even one with wobbly English, had taken the time to write...and then I'd get to the sales pitch for a sex toy or an Indian escort service. (I assume rubber genitalia are easier to get through Customs.) Needless to say, the thrill is gone.
Spam emails aren't much fun, either. But this morning, I got a good one from Mr. Bongaki Khonu* who needs me "to receive $18.720M and
we will discuss what we both stand to benefit." Once I have the money, what does he think he's going to get from me, the zero at the end of the millions? What's that for, anyway? What a sucker! The money "belongs to my late client who has the same last name with you."
(Note to self: Change last name to Undisclosed-Recipients.) "He passed away five years ago in a boat disaster." This really hooks me. It's so vague in its specificity. It could mean anything from drowning in the bilge water on a Carnival cruise to losing a high stakes game of Battleship.
I was already planning to buy a solid gold toilet when I opened this gem, titled "Sleep with 6 girls in the next 6 days...guaranteed!" Now this is some Hot and Spicy Spam.
